Armaflex ECO550 Pipe Insulation Adhesive — 300g
ArmaFlex ECO550 is Armacell's solvent-free, water-based pipe insulation adhesive — the eco-friendly alternative to traditional Armaflex 520 solvent adhesive. Specially formulated for seam bonding of flexible Armaflex NBR/PVC insulation materials, ECO550 delivers reliable, professional-grade bonds without the VOC emissions or strong solvent smell of conventional adhesives.
Ideal for use in occupied buildings, confined spaces and any installation where solvent-based adhesives are restricted or undesirable.
